For anyone that's been eager to jump into EVE Online
now that Apocrypha has seen its official launch, Ten Ton Hammer
certainly has the best selection of EVE editorials to whet your
appetite. Don't believe me? Just check out The Mittani's latest feature
titled "Newbies in Space." Once again, this weekly columnist gives
readers a taste of what EVE is all about, even for the low folks on the

even though he lacked in skillpoints and isk, one pilot, Paradigmblue,
managed to tackle and hold a Moros dreadnought barely four days into
EVE. "Two points on the Moros" became a rallying cry of the power of
the newer players against the old.
